The promise of an emerging economy and the expected changes in the investment and corporate environment provided an outstanding opportunity of new avenues of growth to Indian legal profession.
It was then that their Chairman & Founder, Mr. Jyoti Sagar, envisioned the need and opportunity to institute a law firm which would represent a paradigm shift from the then established structures of family or individual controlled law firms in India. That vision has resulted in JSA evolving from a solo start up in a one room office to a collegial firm with over 300 professionals in seven offices across India.
